A good breakfast starts with the right foundation.

At Blado Restaurant, the Make Your Own Breakfast concept allows guests to create a plate based on their own preferences. After choosing your egg, the next decision is your protein.

This choice can change the entire direction of your breakfast.

Some guests prefer a classic crispy bacon breakfast with familiar flavors. Others want grilled chicken before a busy day in Ubud. Some enjoy a lighter brunch-style combination with smoked ham, while others prefer a more savory option such as beef salami or rolled chicken butter.

There is no single protein that works for everyone.

The best choice depends on what kind of breakfast experience you want.

For guests planning a custom breakfast Ubud experience at Blado, here is a simple guide to the available protein options.

1. Crispy Bacon

Crispy Bacon is a familiar breakfast choice for guests who enjoy a classic combination.

It brings a rich flavor and crisp texture that works naturally with eggs, potatoes, vegetables, and bakery options.

A plate built around Crispy Bacon can feel comforting and easy to understand. It is a practical choice for guests who already know the kind of breakfast they enjoy and want something familiar while dining in Ubud.

A possible combination:

  • Sunny Side-Up
  • Crispy Bacon
  • Hash Brown
  • Baked Beans
  • Grilled Tomato
  • Sourdough Toast
  • Honey Mustard

The egg provides softness, the bacon adds crisp texture, and the sides create a complete breakfast plate.

Crispy Bacon works well for guests who want:

  • A classic breakfast feeling
  • A familiar protein choice
  • A combination that pairs easily with eggs
  • A filling but straightforward morning plate

It is also a good option for international visitors who want a breakfast style they recognize while still enjoying the Blado dining experience.

2. Grilled Chicken Sausage

Grilled Chicken Sausage is a balanced option for guests who want a familiar breakfast protein with a slightly lighter direction.

3. Grilled Chicken

Grilled Chicken is a strong option for guests who want a more substantial breakfast plate.

It works especially well for travelers who have a full schedule ahead, such as exploring Ubud, joining activities, or spending the day visiting different locations.

Because grilled chicken already provides a more filling element, guests can decide whether to create a larger plate or keep the remaining choices balanced.

A possible combination:

  • Pita Bread

4. Rolled Chicken Butter

Rolled Chicken Butter offers a different direction from the more familiar breakfast proteins.

It can suit guests who want something savory but slightly less expected. Instead of choosing a traditional breakfast meat, guests can create a plate around a protein with its own character.

A possible combination:

  • Poached Egg
  • Rolled Chicken Butter
  • Sautéed Mushrooms
  • Baby Potato
  • Avocado Salad
  • Sourdough Toast
  • Basil Oil

6. Smoked Ham

Smoked Ham is a versatile option that works well for guests who enjoy a balanced breakfast or relaxed brunch.

How to Choose Your Breakfast Protein

Choosing a protein does not need to be complicated.

Think about what kind of morning you have planned.

Before a Full Day Exploring Ubud

If you have activities, tours, or a long day ahead, you may prefer a more filling option.

Consider:

  • Grilled Chicken
  • Grilled Chicken Sausage
  • Crispy Bacon

These options can create a more substantial plate when combined with eggs and sides.

For a Relaxed Brunch

If breakfast is part of a slower morning plan, consider proteins that pair well with lighter combinations.

Consider:

  • Smoked Ham
  • Rolled Chicken Butter
  • Grilled Chicken Sausage

These options work well with salad, mushrooms, bakery, and coffee.

For a Classic Breakfast

If you prefer familiar flavors, consider:

  • Crispy Bacon
  • Beef Salami
  • Grilled Chicken Sausage

These proteins are easy to combine with eggs, potatoes, beans, and toast.

For Something Different

If you want to move away from the most common breakfast choices, consider:

  • Rolled Chicken Butter
  • Grilled Chicken
  • Smoked Ham

These options can create a plate that feels more personal.

The Same Protein Can Create Different Breakfast Plates

The flexibility of Blado’s Make Your Own Breakfast means there is no fixed result.

Two guests can choose the same protein and still create completely different meals.

For example, two guests choosing Crispy Bacon can build different plates.

One may choose:

  • Scrambled Egg
  • Crispy Bacon
  • Hash Brown
  • Baked Beans
  • Sourdough Toast

Another may choose:

  • Poached Egg
  • Crispy Bacon
  • Sautéed Mushrooms
  • Avocado Salad
  • English Muffin

The protein stays the same, but the breakfast experience changes.

This is the main idea behind the Blado breakfast concept.

The guest decides the combination.

Complete Your Plate After Choosing Protein

The protein is only one part of the Make Your Own Breakfast system.

After choosing your egg and protein, continue building your plate.

Choose Your Sides

Select from options such as:

  • Hash Brown
  • Herb Potatoes
  • Baked Beans
  • Sautéed Mushrooms
  • Creamy Spinach
  • Grilled Tomato
  • Cassava
  • Tempeh
  • Tofu

Your sides can make the plate familiar, lighter, more filling, or more connected to local ingredients.

Add Salad or Bakery

Complete the breakfast with options such as:

  • Garden Salad
  • Avocado Salad
  • Croissant
  • Sourdough Toast
  • English Muffin
  • Pita Bread
  • Parata

Finish with One Free Topping

The final touch comes from your topping choice.

Options include:

  • Hollandaise Sauce
  • Honey Mustard
  • Chilli Oil Garlic
  • Basil Oil
  • Sweet Chilli
  • Bumbu Pecel
  • Yoghurt
  • Tomato Asam Manis

A topping can shift the direction of the entire plate.

Hollandaise can create a more classic brunch feeling.

Bumbu Pecel can add a stronger Indonesian touch.

Chilli Oil Garlic can bring a bolder finish.

Build Your Blado Morning Plate
